Comparación clínica del color y la pigmentación marginal en carillas cementadas con cemento dual y resinoso de fotoactivación en la Clínica Odontológica de la UCSG periodos A-2024 a A-2025.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental veneers have become one of the main treatment options for many patients today who seek a highly aesthetic result with a conservative approach. This has been made possible thanks to advances in adhesive materials such as resin cements, which play a key role in the immediate and long-term final outcome, making the difference between complete success and the failure of the restoration. Objective: To determine clinical differences in color and marginal pigmentation in veneers cemented with dual-cure cement and light-cure cement at the UCSG dental clinic during the periods A-2024 to A-2025. Methodology: Through an observational, analytical, cross-sectional comparative study, based on photographic analysis, a total of 48 indirect veneers cemented with dual-cure and light-cure resin cement were evaluated. Results: The results suggest that the type of cement used at the time of veneer cementation can indeed increase the predisposition to the appearance of marginal alterations—particularly with dual-cure cement—and can also affect the color stability of the restoration. Conclusion: It is important for the clinician, within the treatment plan, to consider cements that provide greater color stability in order to minimize marginal alterations and color changes.
